Description Mikhail 2013-02-11 02:00:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Why can not be enabled in the main repository libtxc_dxtn? This package now in the repository rpmfusion-free. This package provided gl_ext_texture_compression_s3tc for all free drivers. This is needed for run good games such as steam games, and browser games.

Games examples:
Team Fortress 2 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/
AirMech - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/airmech/hdahlabpinmfcemhcbcfoijcpoalfgdn?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon
Bastion - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bastion/oohphhdkahjlioohbalmicpokoefkgid?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon
Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2013-02-12 01:50:07 UTC 
This package is in rpmfusion for legal issues.
Comment 2 Mikhail 2013-02-12 19:03:28 UTC 
Excuse me, can you give url or explain which legal issues have this package.
Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2013-02-13 20:19:09 UTC 
Software patents, Fedora is US-based. I think you can google this and find answers pretty easily (e.g. Wikipedia).
Comment 4 Mikhail 2013-02-14 01:59:10 UTC 
I found yet another solution "force_s3tc_enable=true steam". What difference between "force_s3tc_enable=true" and installed "libtxc_dxtn" package?
